This project aims to understand and control the interface between 2D materials and inorganic matrices to tune the properties of the composite. In particular, you will study (1) graphene-copper composites for electrical brushes in wind turbine generators and (2) graphene-SiC composites for high performance bearings. Both of these materials have complex multifunctionalities that require tuning of the graphene-matrix interface to deliver optimal performance and improve energy efficiency.

This project aims to provides greater understanding of geopolymer reaction, setting and hardening, by investigating fundamental particle interactions, so that robust specifications can be developed, and geopolymer wasteform properties and performance can be predicted. The project also aims to assess mobility of fission products, and establish chemical durability and radioactive waste retention.

There exist technical solutions to many of the challenges facing efforts to deliver net-zero emissions. Some of these solutions need further development or incremental research to enhance them. We are not looking to fund that work in this call. We are looking to fund projects to investigate possible radical disruptive solutions that can deliver a net-zero, or net-negative future that are more timely, better value, more comfortable and more sustainable

This project aims to understand the effect of the intrinsic characteristics of different concretes (e.g., pH, relative humidity, SOx, O2) in the formation mechanisms and characteristics of corrosion oxide films in embedded steel reinforcement concretes. This research project will be conducted in the University of Leeds, and the supervisory team comprises senior academics with expertise in materials science and surface engineering, internationally recognised as world-leading researchers in the design, advanced characterisation and performance assessment of cementitious materials, as well as for corrosion studies of metals for energy and infrastructure applications.

This cross-disciplinary PhD project aims to develop a new material chemistry circularity comparative framework for sustainable cement for construction and energy sectors. It will perform a hybrid life cycle analysis (LCA) of AAC/AEAC produced from both traditional and non-traditional raw materials, in a system defined in space and time, and compare the environmental and economic performance of these low-carbon cements against traditional Portland cement.
